Benefits of technology

[0011]In summary, the electrical connector according to the present invention improves the structure of the first terminal, by forming a stair-like structure with the second connecting part, the third connecting part, the first bending part, the second bending part and the third bending part of the exposed portion of the first terminal, thereby solving the foregoing problems that too much of the first terminal is exposed from the base without any abutment piece, which subsequently caused irregular bending and poor evenness of the surface of the first terminal.
[0012]Besides, a dividing board is disposed between two adjacent ones of the connecting parts, allowing the first terminals to have better high frequency characteristics, preventing the first terminal to be too close causing short circuit as a result of arc breakdown during voltage test.

Problems solved by technology

However, the function of mSATA in practice does not produce satisfactory results as expected.
Besides, the operational speed is no longer sufficient to meet user's requirement.
Nevertheless, according to the drawings of the previously mentioned patent, the part of first terminal which is exposed from the insulative body of the NGFF connector disclosed by the previously mentioned patent is long and each of the first terminals is not securely fastened with any petitioners, such that first terminals can easily become deformed, causing failure to be successfully bonded onto the circuit board, resulting in poor yield.

Abstract

An electrical connector to be connected with an Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) interface is disclosed, including a base, a plurality of first terminals, and a plurality of second terminals. A plurality of first terminal slots parallel disposed on one side of the base for the first terminals to be plugged thereinto. A plurality of second terminal slots parallel disposed on the other side of the base for the second terminals to be plugged thereinto. The first terminal has a stair-like structure having a first plugging part, a first connecting part, a second connecting, a third connecting part, and a first bonding part. The present invention discloses an improved first terminal structure from having only one abutment piece to having a stair-like structure with a plurality of connecting parts.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to electrical connectors, and, more particularly, to an electrical connector used to connect with a Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) interface.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]As the technology for developing electronic products is rapidly growing, many different types of electronic devices have been developed including personal computers, smart phones or tablets. The goal for today's electronic device is centered towards miniaturization, high operational speed, and high functionality.[0005]In recent years, the industry focuses heavily on improving Notebook and Ultrabook by using mSATA as an interface to connect with SSD. However, the function of mSATA in practice does not produce satisfactory results as expected. The advantages of using mSATA are few compared to its price. Besides, the operational speed is no longer sufficient to meet user's requirement.[0006]In view of this, rel...
